| anthrax | <disease, microbiology> An infectious bacterial zoonotic disease usually acquired by ingestion of Bacillus anthracis or its spores from infected pastures by herbivores or indirectly from infected carcasses by carnivores. It is transmitted to humans usually by contact with infected animals or their discharges (agricultural anthrax) or with contaminated animal products (industrial anthrax).

| anthrax immunization | A series of six shots over six months and booster shots annually, the anthrax vaccine now in use in the USA was first developed in the 1950s and approved by the Food and Drug Administration for general use in 1970. It is produced by the Michigan Biologic Products Institute of Michigan's Department of Health and is given routinely to veterinarians and others working with livestock. In December, 1997 it was announced that all US military would receive the vaccine, as do the military in the UK and Russia, the reason being concern that anthrax might be used in biologic warfare. (12 Dec 1998) |

| morphine injector's septicaemia | Blood stream infection in an individual who injects him or herself with narcotics, usually intravenously, due to bacterial contamination of equipment used. Seen more often with heroin and narcotics other than morphine. (05 Mar 2000) |
| plague septicaemia | Infection with the plague organism, Yersinia pestis, with blood-stream infection. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cryptogenic septicaemia | A form of septicaemia in which no primary focus of infection can be found. (05 Mar 2000) |
| haemorrhagic septicaemia | <microbiology> Haemorrhagic septicaemia is an infectious disease of cattle and buffalo which is caused by the bacteria Pasteurella multocida. Symptoms include fever, appetite loss, and drooling. It appears as a result of stress from malnutrition, exhaustion, or lengthy transportation. (09 Oct 1997) |
| cutaneous anthrax | The skin of B. Anthracis infection characteristic lesion that begins as a papule and soon becomes a vesicle and breaks, discharging a bloody serum; the seat of this vesicle, in about 36 hours, becomes a bluish black necrotic mass; constitutional symptoms of septicaemia are severe: high fever, vomiting, profuse sweating, and extreme prostration; the infection is often fatal. Synonym: malignant pustule. (05 Mar 2000) |
| puerperal septicaemia | A severe bloodstream infection resulting from an obstetric delivery or procedure. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pulmonary anthrax | A form of anthrax acquired by inhalation of dust containing Bacillus anthracis; there is an initial chill followed by pain in the back and legs, rapid respiration, dyspnea, cough, fever, rapid pulse, and extreme cardiovascular collapse. Synonym: anthrax pneumonia, ragpicker's disease, ragsorter's disease, rag-sorter's disease, wool-sorter's pneumonia, woolsorter's disease, wool-sorter's disease. (05 Mar 2000) |
